U.S. President Donald Trump has hinted at the possibility of rejoining the World Health Organization. This comes after signing an executive order to withdraw the country.
United States President, Donald Trump, says he may consider rejoining the World Health Organization after signing an executive order to withdraw the United States on his first day in office.
Trump's decision to withdraw comes as he accused the World Health Organization - which gets a fifth of its budget from the US - of ripping America off, claiming unfairness in what the United States pays in comparison to China.
Now the United States president hints of a possible return to the World Health Organization after reduced figures have been discussed, saying he's been offered a reduced figure of $39 million from the initial amount of $500 million.
United Nations agencies and the European Union met Trump's decision to withdraw the United States with concern as they believe the funding from the U.S. has been crucial to the success of the Organization.
The United States is scheduled to leave the World Health Organization on January 22, 2026. If this is achieved, experts believe it could lead to delayed responses to major disease outbreaks.
